Deleted Items will appear in test run list, could we document what property to filter out on.

Deleted test runs appear in the Runs - list API, and there is no documented way to filter these out,

I have found the status is set to 255 when a run is deleted, however this is an assumption and basing API interaction on an un-documented behavior is problematic.

Please would it be possible to update the documentation with an approved method to filter on deleted test runs.

Runs Delete:

Current workaround:

    runs = []
    for run in all_runs:
        if not run.state == "255":
            runs.append(run)

    return runs
